Which standard relates to the management of social responsibility?

ISO 26000 is the standard specifically designed to guide organizations in integrating social responsibility into their operations and strategy. It provides a framework for organizations to contribute to sustainable development, focusing on areas such as human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development.

Unlike other ISO standards that focus more on specific management systems—like quality management in ISO 9001, food safety in ISO 22000, or energy management in ISO 50001—ISO 26000 does not seek certification but rather serves as a guideline for best practices in social responsibility. This makes it uniquely positioned as a resource for organizations wanting to enhance their social responsibility efforts and improve their societal impact.

When considering the other options, it's apparent that while they may contribute to an organization’s overall operational efficiency and effectiveness, they do not specifically address the broader social responsibility aspect in the same way ISO 26000 does.
